Hello AWAAG,
We wanted to update you to the progress we’re making, and the challenges we are facing at the bargaining table.
In the past couple of weeks, we have made some good headway with agreements improving your working conditions and rights at work.
However, you’ve likely heard that the June 2024 revenue forecast projected substantially less revenue than expected, and pending ballot initiatives could further affect the state’s revenue. As a result, your bargaining team, while fighting for the best contract possible, is aware that difficult choices will have to be made about our economic priorities.
Click here to take this survey by September 2. We would very much like to hear about your economic priorities. We have a number of concepts we have taken forward based on your initial feedback, so please take part as soon as possible, since we are back at the table next week.
We are also encouraging everyone to participate in “Walkout For Washington”!
RSVP here: https://actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/walkout-for-washington-map-rsv...
You can continue to text “UNITED” to 237263!
We also have other ways you can show your support. You can find a variety of printable and virtual resources in the Contract Campaign Toolkit.
Thank you for your continued support – and please, respond to the survey asap!
